The MAX5876/MAX5877/MAX5878 EV kits are designed
to simplify the evaluation of the MAX5876/MAX5877/
MAX5878 dual, 12-bit/14-bit/16-bit, 250Msps, current-
output DACs. The MAX5876/MAX5877/MAX5878 operate
with LVDS-compatible digital data inputs, a differential or
single-ended clock input signal, and two power supplies
(3.3V and 1.8V). The MAX5876/MAX5877/MAX5878
feature internal 1.2V reference voltage.
